Why? What is it about me?
When I was 6 or 7, I played the 'Little cripple boy' (that's what he was called at the time, there's probably a PC name for him now, but that's what he was to me in the mid 80's, so for the puroses of this story, that's what he shall remain), who gets left behind when the Pied Piper of Hamlyn takes all the other children away to his...well..wherever it his he takes them. His peado-cave, presumably. Now, I didn't ask to be the cripple boy and I didn't want to be the little cripple boy, but my teacher decided I would be perfect for the role of the little cripple boy. So I played the little cripple boy.

I hobbled around on my crutches, and when the rest of the case were led away, down the aisle between the seats in the school hall and out the door while I gamely failed to keep up, I was left alone and weeping in a room full of adults staring at me and feeling sorry for me. I hated playing the little cripple boy.

That summer my parents moved house and I started a new school in the new school year. The summer term passed and Christmas came and undettered by my previous humilation, I wanted to be in the school play (not that I would have had a choice anyway, the whole school had to be in it). or at least, I did want to be in the school play, until we were told it was going to be The Pied Piper Of Hamlyn and that they thought I'd be perfect to play...

...you don't really need me to tell you, do you?

Where's Vag?
Has he died or something?

Oh, fine
I go away for 5 days and not a peep. Vag disappears and it's all "where's Vag?, I miss Vag, oh it's not the same around here without Vag"

Humph, See if I care.

Scarpe
I cried when you were gone*, it was like a death in the family or loss of my wanking arm. I am just worried for VAG as he is old and frail and lives alone on the top floor of a Peckham high rise.

* May not have cried
